Cream sofft butter, adding sugar gradually.
Add egg yolks, slowing blending. Add flour gradually.
Work dough around a cherry to form a balll. I make mine about 1 inch across, but you can make them smaller or larger.
Place on greased cookie sheet (or, on parchment) and bake slowly at 325 for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool completely. Then, shake in confectioners sugar.
They are light, and melt-in-your-mouth good (especially with cold milk). Enjoy!
